Hi Ryan, we’re seeing the same thing at CurePSP- our two grant programs, a student fellowship program and an early career investigator program, have seen increasing numbers, about double where they were in previous cycles.
Based on conversations I’ve had with a few other HRA members, this seems to be a common trend. ProposalCentral, the grant submission portal used by many HRA members, mentioned they’ve seen an increase in submissions across the board.
I’ll be interested to hear from others as to how much of an increase they are seeing, and if they are considering any changes to future cycles because of the increase (for example, changing eligibility, narrowing the scope of the RFA, etc).
